The Federal Government has appointed a new executive secretary for the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Reprts have it that Mrs. Sotonye Iyoyo, who hails from Rivers State, has been appointed as the Executive Secretary of the PPPRA in an acting capacity via a letter signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, complained on the way some of his staff in the agencies were removed without any inputs from him or the ministry.
It was gathered that he had put up some resistance against the removal of some of the heads but that the government insisted that their reinstatement would portray the current administration in bad light hence the tact move to summon technocrats from the ministry to man the agencies.
